2GB memory in an 8300 / SP5m

[Guest andyrap]

Are you able to use 2GB memory OK in an 8300 (or any of it's variants)? I have a 8300 and have tried 2 Sandisk 2GB cards in it and had nothing but problems. One card I know is duff as it doesn't work in a card reader either (unable to format).

The other card though appears to be working in the phone - shows up in the system info, can view files in file manager - but opening any of the files on the card causes the phone to hang the application trying to use it.

For example, I put a couple of albums of MP3s on which I could browse but then opening any of them causes WMP to hang. Similarly, I put some photos on the card and could view a couple but then the same thing happened - hangs and have to reboot.

I hope it is just the memory cards as one of the reasons I bought the phone was to use as a music player. I'm getting a refund on them but am curious to know if others are using 2GB cards successfully, and if so, what make?

Cheers, Andy

I think I read somewhere that the 8300/8310 "only" supports up to 1GB of MiniSD.

I hope someone is able to verify this, or even better, has proof 2GB MiniSD also runs perfectly ;)

Edit: Turns out I'm wrong about the 1GB limit :P

If it's any help, I have a Cingular 2125 flashed with the SP5 ROM, and I am using a 2GB card no problem.

Using a C600 with a Sandisk 2gb original rom, it works perfectly.
